Hello!
I'm a new FC5 user, migrated from Mandriva after its implosion. My
experience with package management comes mainly from their URPMI
system. As such, I'm wondering -- what are the best YUM repositories to
use? From what I've read so far, there are two main groups beyond the
default ones which are mutually exclusive. You can either go with
livna/fedora.us, or you can go with the dag/freshrpms/dries/newrpms
group. What are the relative merits of the two, and what would the list
recommend?
livna is an adjunct to the "fedora-extras" repo--it is not a replacement
for any repo. dag has some stuff that livna doesn't have and it should
also be considered an adjunct.
The repos you NEED are fedora, fedora-updates and fedora-extras. If you
WISH, you can add livna and dag.
As a side question, I haven't been able to find a package for lilo in
any of the standard yum repositories, and it doesn't appear to be on the
system (it wasn't an option in the installer). Does such a package
exist, and if so, where?
Not with FC5. lilo has a lot of limitations that grub dispenses with.
FC4 and FC5 only offer grub as a boot loader.
